So what are the rules? Can they repair and reenter the race? It would seem they would not finish in the running if so but is that better than a DNF?

They can't work on it until red flag is up. I assume if it can be repaired, they will get the reps in and fix it now to get it back out.

Nothing but bad luck.

Any ideas why no EB prototypes? Couldn't find anything on them.

Live updates from the garage. Car was totally hydroplaning when number 66 when into the tires.. As stated they can't work on the car under the red flag. They have to wait till it goes green. They plan on getting the car back on the track

They're aiming to restart the race in ~1 hour.

Makes sense. Didn't even look like the car was trying to turn.

That information came from a very reputable Source in the garage while we were looking at the car

Awesome! Can't believe they got it out without missing a green flag lap.

We left Sebring at about 2:30. Pretty miserable. But...got to hang out with Sinovac and son, STORMCAT, andymlow, Ron and Angie Cline (who had their GT parked outside the Ford Performance area). I know To Awsum was there, but we never found him.

It's a shame...we've had zero rain in March, until today. Rain tires don't work in lakes and rivers.

Dixon in the #67 is 3rd behind the two 911 RSRs. Good pace, wish the in-car feed was on the #67 instead of the #66!

Just no luck at all for the 66.
